The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1561
âWhat wonderful news! From this moment forth, heâll be recognized by the cultivating realms all across the globe as the King of the North!â whispered Carlos and the others excitedly among themselves.
Gerald, however, didnât seem to care too much about this. After all, by this point, honor and recognition werenât really important to him anymore.
Regardless, Priest Jenkin then cleared his throat before saying, âActually, thereâs one more thing that one of the Ringmasters of Obliteration entrusted me to tell you⦠Quite frankly, however, Iâm not really sure if youâd like to hear itâ¦â
Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, âPlease share it with me, leading priest!â
âWell⦠I heard from the King of South Asia that Darylâs had some beef with you⦠As Iâve earlier said, the Ringmasters of Obliteration have a rule of not getting involved with the real world⦠Iâm sure you can guess where Iâm going with this, but the love-hate relationship between you and Daryl has gotten to the point where you actually killed the Turnbull familyâs young master! While the past is in the past, Iâve been told to advise the two of you to have a nice talk about all this⦠After all, in the end, this is all for the peace of the cultivating realmâ¦â explained Priest Jenkin.
âFirst off, thereâs something wrong with that statement⦠You see, Iâm not the one unwilling to let go of all this. In fact, you can trust me when I say that itâs the other person who isnât letting me off!
Regardless, now that youâve all spoken up, I can agree to meet and have a talk with Daryl once the chance presents itself. However, Iâll only be willing to do so if he first releases my family members!â
replied Gerald in a straightforward but casual way so that even an idiot would be able to fully understand his message.
Daryl had been playing this game for the longest time, making precise calculations and even manipulating Geraldâs ancestors, all for the sake of eventually being able to deal with Gerald.
With that in mind, it was evident that Gerald had been hurt far too much by that old man. Despite the good advice from the Ringmasters of Obliteration, Gerald wasnât about to just let that old man off that easily. Daryl needed to pay something back for all the damage he had done to him.
Putting his grudges against that old man aside, Gerald fully understood that the Ringmasters of Obliteration simply didnât want him to hurt innocent people or intervene with secular matters. Both of those were naturally no issue for Gerald.
âThatâs great to hear! Now I can return and give the ringmasters a good explanation! Well, without further ado, Iâll be taking my leave then, Master Gerald!â
After the priest left, everyone instantly began excitedly chatting with each other.
âWhat a great and honorable title the King of the North is!â
As the others chatted on, Gerald knew for a fact that he wouldnât be able to find peace yet. After all, there were simply far too many things he still needed to do in the future⦠All he could do in the meantime, was hope that his family members were all still safe and soundâ¦
The second his thought ended, a loud âbangâ could be heard before the ship began shaking all of a sudden! Sensing that the waves beneath them were now churning violently out of the blue, Gerald found himself furrowing his brows, wondering what was going on.
By exerting some force, the waves instantly went calm again, though almost immediately after, a massive force attracted Geraldâs attention.
Activating his divine eye, Gerald scanned the area up ahead⦠before closing it again after only a brief moment.
âThereâs no need to panic, everyone! Iâll be heading off for a while, but donât worry, Iâll be back soon!â
said Gerald rather casually before he slowly faded awayâ¦
Within the country of Yanam, tall mountains were everywhere. However, there was one mountain, in particular, that was so tall that it went above the clouds⦠Almost as though it connected the heavens with the earth, the mountain was aptly named Alpview.
At that momentâabove the many clouds beneath Alpviewâs peakâa man donning plain clothes could be seen standing on a tall porch, his arms against his back as he stared at the near-endless horizon of mountains and rivers before himâ¦
With how tall Alpview was, it was no wonder why nobody else was there.
All of a sudden, Gerald could suddenly be seen slowly walking overâ¦
Staring at the old manâs back with a bitter smile on his face, Gerald then said, âYou know, I was devastated when I first realized the possibility of you being dead⦠After all, you were still my respectable grandpa whom I prided greatly before all this⦠I wonât lie that at the time, I truly felt the warmth and love of family from you!â
âOh? Is that so? Regardless, I have to say that Iâm rather impressed that youâve been able to grow so much in both ability and maturity from when we last met⦠Honestly, I was expecting a bit more surprise from you upon reuniting with me. Well, I guess this reaction of yours is pretty interesting too.
Whatever the case is, quite a lot truly has happened throughout these few months!â replied Daryl as he slowly turned aroundâ¦
Their eyes now meeting, both men seemed unexpectedly calm and composedâ¦
